Atmospheric River hits northern California Thursday, Friday and Saturday

 The last really cold storm hits late tonight and early tomorrow morning before the Atmospheric river hits full force with 4 to 6 inches of Rain and multiply that by 12 for snow in the Sierras (where the weatherman says all roads will likely be closed this weekend so forget about that unless you have a helicopter or something.

So, people are preparing for more flooding and more power outages and more trees coming down all over the place because the Atmospheric River Winds will be pretty fierce too. And a few days later all larger local rivers like the Sacramento, Salinas, and Carmel River likely will flood too in various ways. And smaller streams that feed into these rivers likely will flood Friday and Saturday before the big flooding takes place Sunday and after on the really big streams.

I observed recently what the Salinas River did to King City which destroyed their Golf Course and took away all leaves of all trees near the river for about a block wide at one point where you can see this driving south on Highway 101.
